Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

Scenario 1

  1. Create a new product through APP Create Material/MM01.
  2. Select Basic view.
  3. The field 'Unit of Weight ' is not mandatory and can be filled with every weight unit.

Scenario 2

  1. Create a new product through APP Create Material/MM01.
  2. Select just Sales view.
  3. The field 'Unit of Weight ' is filled by default with KG and unable to change it.

Cause

  • This is standard system behavior, the default unit for the dimension mass is KG.
  • If enter any unit the Mass SI unit will be entered automatically, it can be checked in SSCUI checks units of measurement.

Resolution

  1. Create the new product without the Basic view but with the Sales view, it is suggested to maintain a material group
  2. Set the field DUW (Default Unit of Weight) in SSCUI define material groups, this unit will be used for the new material
  3. Add the Basic view later, the field 'Unit of Weight ' is already filled with the value maintained in step 2.
